Mega Man Cross
Epilogue
By MEGAMANX411
X slowly opened his eyes. He winced at the bombarding sunlight, and he slowly sat up. He then saw that he was in a bed. He looked around to see that he was now in a building, one he recogized. But how could that be? He had just finished fighting Sigma in that other world.
"Where am I? What happened?" he muttered, rubbing his head.
X shook his head to remove the excess fatigue from his system, and he got to his feet. He then walked into the next room. There was no doubt about it, this was Maverick Hunter HQ. But it was just so unreal. He was fighting Sigma one moment, and now he was back home! X then remembered something very important...his friends.
"I wonder if they're here too?" he asked himself, quickening his pace.
X rushed into the main lounge to see something he never expected. All of his friends, even Kid, Korcha, and Norris, were all there. They were waiting for him.
"You guys...you're...you're all right!" X shouted, his eyes widening.
"Finally woke up, eh?" Zero teased.
"But...what happened?" X asked.
"After we fought Sigma, we all lost conciousness. We then woke up back here, and that's all I can say for certain. But what matters most is that we're back X. Signas knows as well. You should've seen his face!" Zero teased.
"Home...we're really home," X repeated, joy coming over him. "I'M HOME!"
Alia then walked up to X and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Oh, Alia..." X muttered, blushing.
"X, thank you," Alia replied. "If it wasn't for you, we would've been..."
"No Alia, you don't need to thank me. I should be thanking you," X answered, a smile appearing on his face.
"But why?" she asked.
"If it wasn't for your courage, your willingness to stick to our promise, I wouldn't have been able to continue the fight. I'm amazed at how strong you've become!" X shouted, smiling.
Alia didn't say anything in response, she just smiled back at X.
"So what about us?" Kid asked.
Zero bent down and patted Kid's head. He smirked at her, and gave her his typical arrogant thumbs up.
"I talked to Signas, and he's organized a place for you to stay. You can come visit me whenever you like. How's that sound?" Zero asked.
Kid just smiled brightly and nodded her head. She was almost too happy to say anything, and was on the verge of crying. Korcha stood beside her, sharing in her joy.
"What about you Norris?" Zero asked.
"Me? I think I'll check out a local police department. Maybe they could use a guy like me," Norris answered.
Norris walked off on his own, waving to the others as he walked out the door.
"Goodbye to you. I can't thank you enough for what you've done," Norris added.
"Goodbye Norris!"
"It's hard to imagine that it's all over..." Alia muttered.
"I know what you mean. I have to admit that I've learned some things from our adventure though..." X replied.
"What's that?" Zero asked.
"Well, about fate and destiny. Maybe they aren't as powerful as we think. I think that our promises and wishes are much stronger," X replied.
"I think you're right X, and you know what? I'll never forget our promise," Alia answered.
"Heh, bonds between friends are stronger than any machine or prediction," Zero added, smirking.
The three friends looked at each other, smiled, and embraced one another.
"As long as this bond remains, we'll fight."
Suddenly, an announcement came over the intercom.
"Attention! All Maverick Hunters, dispatch immediately!"
X, Zero, and Alia looked at one another and nodded their heads. It was time to fight again, and they would once again work together, empowered by their bonds. No matter what fate had in store or what plans it had for them, they would resist and carve their own future. They wouldn't just accept what fate dealt; they would fight and earn their future.
The end. Comments are appreciated, and I hope you liked the story!
